Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 16, Verse 11

Krishna said

चिन्तामपरिमेयां च प्रलयान्तामुपाश्रिताः।कामोपभोगपरमा एतावदिति निश्चिताः ॥16.11॥

cintāmaparimeyāṃ ca pralayāntāmupāśritāḥkāmopabhogaparamā etāvaditi niścitāḥ

Meaning

They are gripped by endless worries that last until death. Treating the enjoyment of desires as the highest goal, they are convinced that this is all there is to life.

हिंदी में अर्थ

वे ऐसी अनगिनत चिंताओं में घिरे रहते हैं जो मृत्यु तक साथ नहीं छोड़तीं। इच्छाओं के भोग को ही सबसे बड़ा लक्ष्य मानकर, वे पक्का समझ लेते हैं कि जीवन में बस इतना ही है।

Practise it today

Write down your three biggest worries today, mark the ones you can act on, act on one, and set the rest aside for now.

Reflect tonight

Which worry did you act on, and what happened to the others once they were on paper?
